The Convention "Racket."

There are epidemics of measles and
OF whooping cough, there are seasons
wherein colds are unduiy prevalent,
but ii has been reserved for Louisiana
to provide an epidemic OF conventions.
Warren Eas!on works the educational
convention racket, Commissioner Bird

ventiou. while away down in the Cal.
casieu country such sturdy farmers as
Governor McEnery and Editor Jas
irenski are to meet to discuss the best
methods OF raising cabbages, beets,
onions, and other esculents.
The editor of the Times feels that
his large fund Of agricultural knowl-
edge should not be wasted on the des-
ert air OF u newspaper. He must meet
his brother tiil"rs of the soil, Messrs.
McEnery and .Iasiremski, face TO face,
aud from their own lips IN the course
of a five minutes conversation receive
from them all the agricultural informa,
ton they are qualified to give. Three
minutes more of .'tarm talk" aud the

the compliment.

Along tho quiet, shady lanes,
Where once we loved to stray.
'Mongst wealth of Haunting golden roa
And sumach, bold and gay,
In ruddy splendor, as of yore,
Its drops of fire shine.
Alas! tho sweet was all for YOU
The bitter part was mine!
We wandered, aimless. hand il hand,
Contented, blithe and free!
Nor care nor pain had touched our hearts
All! happy then We're we;
l found its berries gleaming bright
From out tho tangled vine.
Alas! the sweet was all for yott--
The bitter part was mine!
We parted, rich in simple trust;
You joined the city's whirl;
What wonder that you soon forget
Your little rustic girl?
And yet, whene'r, mid autumn's hoard,
Its drops of fro shine,
/ sigh--the sweet was all for you
Tho bitter part was mine!

Gen. logan's One Romnncr

Logan's marriage WAS ,he one little
touch of romance in his career. When
lieutenant in the Mexican war his
captain, named Cunningham, received
letter from his Oldest daughter. IL
was the first she had ever written, for
she was still a mere child, and showing
it TO the lieutenant Capt. Cunningham
laughingly told him that he might
have her. Years afterwards, when
Logan was lawyer of thirty and Miss
Cunningham was young lady of
seventeen, he met her in her father 3
Office and told her he had come TO
claim her fathers promise. His suit
prospered and they were married.
Mrs. Logan was made Of the same
met,le as her husband. When he left
the battlefield of Butt Run and turned
his face towards his constituents he
did so ut some personal risk, for they
had already passed resolutions favor
ing secession. Mrs. Logan was already
at his home, and on the day set for his
arrival she drove to Caibonuale,
| Twenty-Five miles away, to meet him.
The train missed connection. aud Lo-
gau did not arrive. When Mrs. Io-
gan returned without him her buggy
was surrounded by an angry crowd,
and it was not until the sheriff had
urged tho mob to disperso that she
was released from her periiou5 and un-
pleasant position. Then she turned
her horse arouud and in the darkness
pluckily set out again on the long ride
to CarboEdale.

band rolled up to the depot, but withe
out waiting to rest themselves, they
secured fresh horse, and by daylight
were once more at Marion. There
crowds surrounded Logan. They had

sition opposite to him, but, undaunied
by threats, ne addressed them and
made them respect the cool bravery Of
his speech. IL was tho same woman
who, when Logan was lying wounded
at Fort Donaldson, literally forced her
! way to his bedside and nursed him
until he was well. Col. Morrison, now
the representative from Illinois, was
lying wounded on an adjoining cot,
and she attended to him also, thus
laying the foundation OF the friend
ship which afterward existed between
the two men. 1t was the same woman,
too, who went to Secretary Endiceti
and told him that it was the desire OF
Senator Logan to have his son.in-law

Queen Victoria will be 65 years old on

will celebrate the fittieth anniversary of
her accession to the throne on the 20th of

be breaking, aud doubts have been express
sed as to whether she will live to the date
other proposed jubilee, but probably these
are not we'll founded. Should sho die to-
day bat three of her predecessors would
have reigned longer than she. Tho longest
reign in the history of England is that oil
her grandfather, George III. 1t lasted
fifty nine years. He assembled the throne
in 1863 and died in 1920. Henry III, who
died in 1920, reigned Gfty-siH years. Ed
ward III, in the next century, reignetl
fifty years. The next longest reign pro-
vious to the present is that OF Elizabeth
which lasted forty-four years. Her age
was Il remarkable one. intellectually
there is none more so in the worlds record
but as for material growth England has
never known such IN era as that of Vic
toria. Nor has there been peaceful reign
wherein there has been such Il marked

the power when 1t began. Now the scep-
